Spring Practice Recap

Spring Practice Recap

I was very pleased with our two weeks of spring practice and the spring game.  Every practice had great plays on both sides of the ball.  Players played with great heart and enthusiasm which makes it a joy to coach.  Many of our mistakes are the kind you would expect after just 8 practices and will be easily corrected in the fall.  I saw a lot of players grow into new roles and take on more leadership responsibilities.  We made strides in team cohesion and the commitment level is very high.  There are certainly a lot of reasons to be looking forward to the fall.

Player Interviews and Spring Scrimmage Film

I am willing to meet with any player and conduct a spring practice exit interview.  This is a great opportunity for them to ask questions and get feedback about their performance during the spring and what the expectations are for the fall.  If they are interested in changing positions this is a great opportunity to communicate that to me as well.  I will be in my office in the field house most of the time this week.  They are welcome to stop by before or after a final.  Cindy Wilhite will be able to find me if I am not in my office.  If anyone is interested in watching the scrimmage film they can watch it from 3:30 to 4:30 pm on Tuesday in the field house.

Summer Workout Schedule

Summer strength and conditioning workouts will start on Monday, June 4.  The workouts will be from 8 to 10 am Monday through Thursday.  The workouts are designed to make every player a better athlete not to just get stronger.  We will focus on proper lifting techniques and developing speed and quickness in our athletes. I will supervise the workouts along with other members of the coaching staff.  We will also incorporate team building exercises and competitions to keep the workouts fun.  Players that participate in regular supervised workouts have a much lower injury rate during the season.

We do have several players that workout with personal trainers.  One of which is an assistant coach, Will Fields.  Coach Fields has helped me to develop our team program as well.  If you are interested in your son working out with him please feel free to contact him directly at bwill09@hotmail.com.

Booster Club and Season tickets

I received a few questions about the Football Booster Club and Season Tickets after the parent meeting so I thought I would provide some clarification especially for our new families.  The Football Booster Club includes an automatic membership into the general athletic booster club that gets you a discount on certain apparel in the Spirit Store.  The All-District, Coach’s Club and All-State levels include season tickets, the coach’s away game polo and other benefits.  Each season ticket is for one reserved stadium chair and will get you into every football game of any level at CCS this fall.  For the full benefits and to sign up please go to www.CypressChristian.org/Football/Football-Booster-Club.cfm. 

The funds generated by the booster club and season ticket sales are vital to operating our football program at level we are at.  If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

New Weight Room and Locker Room

I will be posting more details about the opportunity we have to enhance the field house and weight room for all athletes.
